Cheekatilo Trailer Out

Set against a rapidly evolving Hyderabad, Cheekatilo follows Sandhya, a criminology graduate and true-crime podcaster played by Sobhita Dhulipala. What begins as an investigative podcast soon spirals into a dangerous pursuit when a shocking murder uncovers clues linked to a serial killer whose crimes date back nearly two decades. As Sandhya uses her podcast as a weapon to provoke and expose the truth, the narrative turns into a tense game of cat and mouse, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted. The trailer teases a nerve-racking journey filled with buried secrets, emotional reckonings, and the constant threat of violence, raising the central question: will Sandhya succeed in unmasking the killer, or will she become his next target?
